For summer-suede shoes: moccasins or usual Derbys?

[Trenchfriend]

Actually, I got the possibility to get very very nice crepe-soled shoes in department-store, for the next summertime. There's a brand, offering suede-moccasins and simple suede-Derbys, both crepesoled , both on the same price.

I can't really decide, actually. I like the moccasins very much and actually, I would prefer them. But, would you say, that the Derbys could be more robust? If that's the case, I would grab the Derbys, although the moccasins look very nice.

In cases like these I normally give in to temptation and buy both or all!

If you like the moccasins more buy the moccasins. It's not rocket science!

moccasins match trucker shorts better also without lacing so won't get accidentally caught into your bicycle crank.

No piece of clothing is more foul looking than the moccasins. Don't get the moccasins.

I will first get the Derbys and if build-quality is okay, I could get the moccasins later. Let's see, how nice my first crepesole-shoes will be!

That's for sure. I don't really give a toss about footwear (I just own several pairs of the one style of boot) and I've never understood the idea of a summer shoe. Even when it's 104 degrees I just wear my Blundstones (or similar).

I'll see your moccasins, and raise you Crocs!
